"We are ordinary women, serving an extraodinary God."
The Founders
Individually, each of us signed in different areas (schools, churches, concerts, etc.). During the fall of 2000, God brought us together, with one vision, using sign language and music to reach those who need encouragement and a glimpse of hope, those who need a healing touch from God and those who need to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• To provide equal access to God's Word for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, through clear, accurate, and anointed sign language interpretation, with an emphasis on music
• To end oppression of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing by educating others on Deaf awareness, as well as advocacy towards meeting the communication needs necessary for inclusion in all areas of ministry
• To provide evangelism/outreach to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing through dramatic performances of musical interpretations of traditional and contemporary Christian music.
• To encourage and support others in God's call to Deaf Ministry
Objective
While the Deaf community may make up only a small percentage of the population, every single soul is equally important to God. Our objective is, therefore, " that none shall perish."
